Misri Patel is an architect and researcher from Mumbai, India. Her research and pedagogical interests center on the intersection of material systems, computational design, and acoustics, with a strong emphasis on both traditional and advanced fabrication methods. She investigates how emerging technologies—particularly additive manufacturing—can be leveraged through performance-based design strategies and integrated with craft and other vernacular techniques that are both culturally resonant and contextually grounded.

She was the recipient of the 2023-25 Ann Kalla Professorship in Architecture at Carnegie Mellon Architecture. Prior to joining Carnegie Mellon, she served as a Visiting Lecturer at the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania and 2021-23 Visiting Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. In 2019, she received the Ballard Fellowship at Lawrence Technological University and served as a Research Lead at Taubman College on Long Range Glass. In 2022, the project won the R+D Award from Architect Magazine. Her work has been published in Unfolded, Portico, ideasforward-24H, ACSA, Acadia Conference Proceedings and exhibited at the Venice Biennale, DigitalFUTURES conference and the Center for Architecture, New York.

Misri received a Bachelor of Architecture from NMIMS BSSA in Mumbai and a Master of Science in Digital and Material Technologies from Taubman College, University of Michigan. Prior to her teaching appointments, she gained professional experience at the offices of Sameep Padora, Mumbai and LOT-EK, New York, and shadowed at Perkins and Will, Los Angeles.
